SHE SURVIVED GETTING SHOT DURING AN ARMED ROBBERY IN BAY VIEW BACK IN OCTOBER. ONLY ON 12 NEWS, A ROLLER DERBY STAR IS ABOUT TO ACHIEVE HER GOAL-- RETURNING TO THE RINK --- BARELY SIX MONTHS LATER. 12 NEWS REPORTER NICK BOHR IS LIVE IN BAY VIEW... WHERE SHE NEARLY DIED AFTER A NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS. CHRISTINA HUTH WAS WALKING HOME WITH HER BOYFRIEND FROM HERE... WHEN A MAN WEARING A BANDANA OVER HIS FACE RAN UP TO THEM POINTING A GUN... DEMANDING MONEY. THE GUN FIRED, STRIKING CHRISTINA SQUARE IN THE CHEST. NO ONE COULD'VE IMAGINED THEN SHE'D BE BACK SO SOON COMPETING IN THE SPORT SHE LOVES ... EXCEPT MAYBE CHRISTINA HERSELF. :23-:28 :42-:46 IT'S A STORY OF AN ATHLETE'S COMEBACK... BUT NOT FROM A TORN ACL OR SPRAINED WRIST. CHRISTINA HUTH OF THE BREWCITY BRUISERS ROLLER DERBY TEAM... WAS SHOT IN THE CHEST BY A ROBBER AT POINT BLANK RANGE IN OCTOBER ... THE BULLET SHREDDING HER LUNG AND LIVER. NATS HA HA, YOU GOT THIS SLAM! YOU DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE RULES OF ROLLER DERBY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO CHRISTINA. WHEN I WOKE UP FROM SURGERY AND MY FAMILY WAS THERE, THE FIRST QUESTION OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS "MOM, WHEN CAN I PLAY ROLLER DERBY?" AND SHE WAS SHAKING HER HEAD NO, AND SAID IT'D BE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS, AND I STARTED CRYING. THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO. EVEN THE PRACTICES IN ROLLER DERBY ARE SO PHYSICAL, CHRISTINA ONLY GOT MEDICAL CLEARANCE TO RETURN HERE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. Q: IT STILL HURTS SOMETIMES... A: YEAH, IF I'M TWISTING WRONG LIKE IT'LL LIKE PULL ON A MUSCLE OR SOMETHING, OR IF I GET HIT STRAIGHT ON I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL IT, SO I STILL REMEMBER THAT IT'S THERE. IT, IS THE BULLET STILL LODGED IN HER BACK. I WILL PROBABLY GET IT REMOVED I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT DURING DERBY SEASON CAUSE THEN I'D HAVE TO SIT OUT SOME MORE... SO I'LL JUST WAIT UNTIL THE SUMMER . CHRISTINA KNEW ALL ALONG THIS SATURDAY'S FINALE WOULD BE HER LAST CHANCE TO RETURN THIS SEASON... AND MADE IT HER MISSION... THE GOAL FOR HER RECOVERY. AT FIRST I WAS LIKE I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT. BUT THEN A PART OF ME IS LIKE, YOU'RE A FIGHTER, YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS... YOU CAN'T SIT OUT A WHOLE SEASON, SO ... I'M SO THRILLED THAT IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING... CAUSE PART OF ME IS LIKE, CAN YOU DO IT? YES, I CAN. POLICE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A SUSPECT IN CHRISTINA'S SHOOTING.... BUT CHRISTINA SAYS SHE STILL LOVES IT HERE IN BAYVIEW... AND ISN'T AFRAID.
